NAIROBI, Kenya, July 23 – IT provider Numeral IOT has launched “TransitTag,” a system that provides real-time monitoring of children traveling by bus to school.
Powered by the Kenyan-made Numeral Infinity Engine, a communications module for IoT devices, the TransitTag includes a wearable wrist tag that allows children to board and disembark the bus, allowing parents or guardians to know their child’s location in real time.
Numeral IOT Chief Executive Officer, Morris Mbetsa asserted that the system, which provides real-time monitoring of children’s bus journeys to school, will have live camera feeds that provide parents and schools with live video feeds from the bus, and AI-driven analytics that use AI technology to monitor driver attentiveness and children’s behaviour, thereby improving child safety.
“Numeral IOT is on stage to showcase several innovative projects we have been working on over the past few months. TransitTag includes a wearable wrist tag, live camera feed, AI-driven analytics and real-time tracking. The solution enables both schools and parents to monitor the exact location of children on their way to school,” said Numeral IOT, CEO of Mbetsa.
The innovation also aims to ensure direct communication with school transport teams to quickly address concerns or emergencies and ensure more transparent and efficient communication.
“TransitTAG prioritizes student safety with its live tracking and video surveillance capabilities. Parents receive instant notifications and live tracking information, including bus details, departure times and live tracking links,” he added.
Currently working on new innovations in the technology world, the company is the first to unveil its Numeral Infinity Engine, which supports multiple wireless protocols to suit different environments and enables seamless communication between IoT devices and central systems.
Designed to minimize power consumption, the engine collects data from sensors and IoT devices and securely transmits it to a cloud server or local gateway for processing and analysis.
